Chapter 51 - Let Me Think About It
Friends? He furrowed his thick brows. His eyes became hostile, as if he was about to throw daggers at her. "I think that's impossible."
She shook her head like a child rejecting an offer. "No, it's not"
It was harder to believe her because of the playful glint in her eyes. He couldn't tell if she was just teasing him or not. "Then?"
"Friends. With lots of benefits."
Even if that meant that he could still have her as much as he could, for some reason, he couldn't like the idea of being sex buddies. He wanted more. He wanted to possess her completely. His eyes darkened at the thought. He looked at her dangerously, his gaze was enough to tell her: 'change your mind'.
Lu Mengjie felt her body shiver from the iciness that came from this man. He was like an evil entity that was coming out from a cursed refrigerator.
"Stop glaring at me!" She was straightforward. There was no sign of fear in her eyes. She was calm to the point where she reached out and brazenly pinched his cheek.
His face remained hard despite the pinch she gave him. The only reaction she received from him was his brow, twitching once. He lightly slapped her hand away from his cheeks. "I don't like being friends with you."
Her shoulders sunk as she pursed her lips. She looked disappointed. "What? What's wrong with being my boyfriend?"
He was in a daze. "…"
Boyfriend?
When Lu Mengjie saw his reaction, a hearty laugh escaped her lips. Her laughter was so free and pure, so childish despite her adult years. It came to his ears as a tickle and bounced. It was like music, pleasing to hear. He looked helplessly at her as he sighed. He pinched both her tender cheeks, turning her laughter into a groan.
"Oow! Oow!"
"Do you enjoy teasing me, little miss? Hm?" He raised a brow as he continued to pinch her.
"Let gooo!" She whined.
This time, instead of pinching, he lightly pressed her cheeks with his palms, pursing her lips like that of duck lips. "Should I punish you?"
"Wiwei!" She whined. She held his wrists and tried to pull his hands away from her cheeks but the man didn't move an inch. His hands were like two strong immovable clamps.
"Hm? Is that my name?" He asked with a sly smirk. He even squeezed her cheeks a bit just to tease her further.
"Dwady!" She couldn't pronounce the words correctly because of her duck lips.
He leaned and softly pecked her pouting lips before finally setting her cheeks free. "I'll let this go just for once so be a good girl, okay?"
She rolled her eyes while rubbing her now redden cheeks lightly. She took note of his words. If she was going to tease him, she should tease him in an open space just so she could run away later. When she thought of this, a smirk unconsciously appeared on her lips.
The mischief in her eyes didn't escape his eyes. He was sure that she was planning on something naughty. At the same time, he couldn't help but fall for how she was. He couldn't help but somehow be helpless. He never thought that he would end up loving the way that mischievous smirk was forming on her lips. It was as if something cheeky-cute scheme was about to explode in his general direction. Either way, he didn't mind it. At least it would give him a reason to punish her later.
"Instead of dating me…" he paused and looked at her with seriousness but at the same time, it had a mixture of jest in them. "Marry me."
"…" He was her first boyfriend so she was excited at the thought of dating but when she heard his words, she was dumbfounded. "W-wait… let me think about it."
Yong Liwei didn't expect such an answer from her. He was expecting her to reject the idea. He was in a stupor.
"Let's see…" She mumbled as she cupped her chin with her finger. She really looked like she was considering it. Why won't she? He was made from heaven… or hell, she didn't mind either. His beauty was incomparable. Aside from that, he was rich. Extra points for his caring personality too. Who wouldn't want to marry a handsome and rich gentleman? Only a fool would decline that offer. Marrying him was like hitting a jackpot!
"Fine! I'll marry you!" She grinned at him.
